same colour, reaching to the anal angle ; m this patch, and gene- 

 rally interspersed among the ferruginous band, are shining purpUsh 

 gi'ej' or lilac scales. Hind wings pale greyish, with a slight rosy 

 tinge. Under side of the fore wings pale brownish, of the hind 

 wings white. Legs very pale straw-colour, the 1st pair marked on 

 their upper surface with brown. Expanse, 23 mm. 



One female. Arizona. 



At first sight this insect reminds one much of Ptycho- 

 loma semifuscana, Clem. I have named it after Mr. 

 Henry Edwards of New York, whose intimate knowledge 

 of the Lepidoptera of the Western States of America is 

 an unfailing source of useful information to his entomo- 

 logical friends. 



Conchylis comes, n. s. 

 Head pale straw-colour. Palpi projecting more than the length 

 of the head beyond it ; pale straw-colour, tinged with brownish on 

 their outer sides ; the 2nd joint long and straight, with scales pro- 

 jecting on its under side as far as the end of the short apical joint. 

 Antennae pectinated, pale straw-colour, tinged with brownish on 

 their upper sides. Fore wings rather broad, with the costa arched 

 before the middle, where is a small scaled flap turned downwards 

 beneath it, pale straw-colour, tinged with pale tawny brown along 

 the dorsal part of the wing beneath the fold from the base to the 

 end of the cell. The base of the costa is narrowly ferruginous ; at 

 the commencement of the outer half of the costal margin is a 

 triangular ferruginous patch followed by a more extended patch of 

 the same colour reaching to the apex ; in each of these are a few 

 purplish scales. Fringes unicolorous with the pale ground colour 

 of the wing. Hind wings shining pale tawny. Under side of fore 

 wings shining vmicolorous tawny. Under side of hind wings shining 

 straw-white. Expanse, 18 mm. 



One male. Arizona. 



This appears to be allied to C. cnicana, Dbld., differing 

 chiefly in the absence of the dorsal markings. 



Conchylis sartana, Hiib. 



Four specimens have reached me of what is un- 

 doubtedly the true Phannacis sartana, Hiib. (' Zutnige,' 

 223, 224) captured, as I am informed by Mr. Morrison, 

 in North Carolina and Florida. 



This species, regarded by Prof. Fernald as equivalent 

 to Conchylis himacidana, Rob., differs from Eobinson's
